Lines now open, but the mess to services this overrun has caused will be felt for the rest of the day.

A no tea, no biscuits meeting will doubtless be held tomorrow to discuss what went wrong.

A bit of everything thrown in there.   Over-running engineering work to the east of Temple Meads and a points failure to the west.

Also meant sets couldn't enter service from St Philip's Marsh depot.
